With this entry, I might lose any credibility I am trying to gain as a small group leader, but I'm going to do it anyway...I love The Girls Next Door. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, good - you're probably a good, wholesome Godly person. Me, on the otherhand, I love to watch this cable reality show that follows the lives of Hugh Hefners' three girlfriends. The show is so funny and so sad at the same time. And you would think that the saddest part of the show would be all those women (and men) just throwing everything they have out there and partying it up all the time as if there was no sense of decency or morality. And still, I love this show because it's stupid - it consistently makes me laugh. Those girls crack me up.
Anyway, I digress. The part that I find saddest is my girl, Holly. She is my favorite of the three girlfriends. She is "Hef's #1 girl," which means of the three girlfriends, she is the main one. And what makes me sad about her is that she seems to genuinely love Hef. Don't know why - the man just turned 80 - he is 8 years older than my dad and when I think of my dad, I think "dirty old man" but no, Hef is a DIRTY, OLD MAN. Yet still she loves him. She just likes to be next him, to hang out with him. She doesn't like to go away without him. She'll call him regularly when she is out just to check in on "puffin." Seriously, I feel her. When Hef walks into a room, Holly lights up and screams, "puffin!" It reminds me of me, "Timmy!"
But there are a few minor differences between Timmy and Hef. Like Timmy doesn't have two other girlfriends living with us - ew. That makes me so sad. If you have ever seen the show, I am sure you have noticed the look on Holly's face whenever Hef kisses another girl. It's one of two looks - a growl with a muttered "i'm going to pull out all of your hair, bitch" or a sad puppy dog pleading "please, don't touch my puffin" Oh, it's so sad. I just want him to get rid of Bridget and Kendra and commit to Holly. Holly has said on the show before that she wants to get married and she wants to have babies. She wants little hefs - ew but still, dito.
So, why does Hef need multiple girlfriends? It seems to me that he cares more for Holly than the other girls. Holly is the one who sleeps with him every night. Maybe it's just the image. Maybe he can't commit to one person because that would destroy the whole playboy image. Wasn't he married? What happened there? I don't know. Maybe in his heart he really does want to make Holly his one and only girlfriend, maybe even his wife, but he can't because an entire empire rests on his dirtiness. So, sad. And another sad part is that it seems clear that Bridget and Kendra know that Holly's his favorite. They seem to be milking the whole "Hef's girlfriend" title while I think Holly is dreaming of becoming Mrs. Hugh Hefner. Dito.
In related nonsense, Timmy and I were watching VH1s Fabulous Life of Sugar Daddies. Do you know what craziness is reported in regards to Hef and his girlfriends? Besides the fact that the three girlfriends get to have Hugh Hefner as their man - ew. They also reportedly:
-have full medical and dental insurance provided
-get plastic surgery paid for
-get a $1000 a week of spending money
-are included in Hef's will: Bridget and Kendra will each get $500,000. Holly will get $3,000,000 - come on, Hef, commit!!
-oh and then there's that whole Playboy Mansion, celebrity status, and their own tv show because they are Hef's girlfriends. I just have to shake my head.
I stand behind Holly.
Oh and for those of you wondering: a sugardaddy is an older man who showers gifts on a younger, less financially stable women. Timmy says that makes him my sugar daddy. Guess that means I'm his arm candy. That's cool so long as I am the only one and I get to call him "puffin."

addition: sadness, deep sadness
Hef and Holly can't marry because he already is! Ug, he married a bunny in 1989. They separated in 1998 but never actually divorced (at least according to Wikipedia). Hef and that bunny have a 16 yr old and a 15 yr olf. He's just filling his time with pretty little things - oh Holly, RUN! Give your love to man who will love you as you deserve!!!!

Melissa I compleatly agree. I love this show. (At first I felt bad about this show until I found out that you and another leader who shall remain nameless also liked the show. Then I thought it was ok :o) It is so obvious that Holly is the auctual girlfriend and Kendra and Bridget are just girls he supports finacially. I don't get it. Holly is beautiful (of course if she's Hef's girlfriend) and smart and seems not at all like what I think of when I think Playboy Bunny. I wish she could have whats she wants.

1 John 2:15
People who post Bible bits anonymously (and out of context, by the way) should read Romans 1:16 and 2 Timothy 1:8.
I mean, I think she's crazy and all, too, but she's loving the real (mostly) flesh (and silicone) people, and being sad for their sin, that seems pretty darn good. That's not loving the world in the 1 John 2:15 sense, but in the Jesusy John 3:16 way. Rock it out, Melski.
Myself, I prefer Dog the Bounty Hunter. Righteousness and mercy, baby.
i was going to say (before all the scripture throw-downs) that i still respect melissa even tho' she watches this show...
i just ask that she and tim leave the puffin comments at home.
:P
Man. I was going to delete the 1 John thing and post a comment about how I am reinstituting the "no anonymous comments" policy of yesterweek, but then it would take the reference point away from Luke's reply. So I guess it can stay for now. But be warned for future occurences, oh anonymous poster of righteous-esque words.
you can erase mine too if you want.
